110% yes
My sop for alignment is put all the caster in it then pull out just enough to get the camber 0. I don’t even measure it unless I’m curious what it is. Old cars you need aftermarket arms that shift the ball joint to get enough. usually you can get away with either uppers or lowers and don’t need both but it sure helps. Even my 2002 Silverado i max it out and it’s barely enough.

I had to go to taller ball joints and raise the front slightly to get camber adjs, so I could get more caster. I have the BMR control arms, I thought they would have more built in.
I just do it in the garage, have a gauge that goes on the hub, getting the toe correct is the hard part, lol.

I didn't get back out, was not able to get my buddy to go over my drag alignment.
Okay deep breaths, didn't end the year with an 8 second pass. I'm okay thanks for the calls and flowers.
Over winter I'll change out the front control arms with Smith or TRZ, re align, get back out and not change a thing until the banana runs a 5.50/8.50.

Jim, Jamie, all, I'm thinking to go TRZ upper/lower arms, their coil over version. I have a few folks (Kevin Smith for example) who tell me they hold up on the street. Anyone else?
Kevin (and my other buddy Kevin S) suggested I open up the frame and run a longer shock, any thoughts on this? I'm basically going to do it at this point.

Ordered Smith upper and lower front control arms.
Will be ordering Afco coilovers after the holidays.
Will also buy a different track locater bar and upgrade to a thicker one.
